Yeah you have to hate drivers and teams who produce on the track, and conduct them selves well enough to bring in a good sponsor. I have seen everyone who NOS has associated with,work hard, and make sacrifices. Just as Robert has done. I remember one time a very good driver, who shall remain nameless, had moved into a good ride. Someone told me, he is only good because he gets the best rides. My reply was, or does he get those rides because he is good? They all work hard and make sacrifices.

No matter what, I’m glad he apologized for some things he said. I’m not very good at turning the filter on either. But, I don’t feel he was right. No matter the track prep, busting your a*s at Eldora is never a good thing. Same as Belleville, Winchester, Salem or any of the miles and other places. That’s what makes those places what they are. When you win at those kinds of places you really accomplished something, no matter your name. It is what it is. Respect him for the apology though, and will be glad to watch him wheel a car anytime.

The idea that dirt tracks are by nature must be dusty is nonsense. Yes, on a hot, breezy day race and even sometimes a night race there is only so much you can do. This dust thing is something that fans have unfortunately came think is normal. I saw my first race at Eldora in 1967 and I can assure you no one was wearing goggles or bandanas over their face. Specifically at Eldora this problem had been exacerbated by the lack of quality surface material, big soft tires, reconfigured track, and yes a lack of track prep or prep that tries to satisfy a multitude of car types. I always extol the virtues of Sprint cars on dirt to non fans. If I taken a newbie to the 4 Crown where they could write their name in the dust on their seat they would never attend another dirt race. Also, what current sports fan would sit through an 7 hour event. We are victimizing ourselves and our sport by enduring such nonsense.

Well , I have been going to Eldora since the early seventies.There has always been some dust. My opinion is that that the issues with dust as we have it now started with some bad dirt being put on the track and then they built the suites. I think that the suites block a lot of the air that used to "ventilate" the dust somewhat.Just one guys opinion here. Time always has a way of making things better than they actually were. peace
